This is a potentially misleading oversimplification. Yes, you can use SimpleDB with Django. SimpleDB has Python bindings, and a Django site is just a collection of Python code. If you want to use SimpleDB as your data store, you can. However, you can't use SimpleDB as a drop in replacement for a "normal" relational database. Django's models depend on the capabilities of a relational database, so any Django feature that requires access to those features won't work. This means you won't get the benefit of the admin interface, or many of the other contrib tools; or most of the wider community of Django projects. You *can* however use the bits of Django that don't rely on models, such as URL dispatch, basic form processing, templates, and so on. As indicated, there is a project called django-nonrel which is one attempt to provide Django model services to non-relational datastores. Django also hosted a Google Summer of Code project last year aimed at making non-relational datastore backends possible. It's likely that the 1.4 timeframe will see some of these capabilities reach trunk.
